You step off a tram and into a square where cobblestones set the tempo and statues seem to watch your progress. The scavenger hunt pushes you into lanes between pastel merchant houses, across the broad Hauptmarkt and up toward the red-brick bulk of the Imperial Castle — clues pulling you from fountain to church, from Dürer’s modest house to the old bridges that cross the Pegnitz.
